Committee updates volunteer policy to include ICHAT and SOR checks; proposed for board first reading
Summary
The Policy Committee updated the district volunteer policy to align with current best practices by adding ICHAT and SOR checks for volunteers and proposed the revision as a first reading at the July regular meeting.
The Policy Committee reviewed and updated the district volunteer policy at its July 8 meeting to align with current best practices for background screening. The committee recorded that the volunteer policy update will include running ICHAT and SOR checks and proposed the revised policy as a first reading at the regular July board meeting.
The agenda entry states: "Volunteer Policy – updated to be consistent with current best practice (running ICHAT and SOR checks) – proposed to be a first reading at the regular meeting in July." Committee members did not record a formal committee vote during the meeting; the item was scheduled to return to the board as a first reading.
The committee did not specify operational details in the discussion (for example, which volunteers or the timing of checks); those implementation details were not in the committee record and will need to be clarified before the policy takes effect.
